Chondroma in a sesamoid bone of the thumb: case report.
Sesamoid tumors of the hand are uncommon. We report a 50-year-old man presenting with a right thumb sesamoid chondroma. Surgical excision was successfully performed. At 12-month follow-up, the thumb function is normal, and there is no evidence of other lesions or recurrence.
